Christmas....here we come!

We decided this morning to get out all of our Christmas decorations....which is a lot in this house. So we spent most of the day decorating the inside of the house and then after dinner we trimmed the tree. (That comment confused the boys....they wanted to go get scissors and seriously trim the tree! We were laughing at that one.) Hopefully soon we will be able to do the outside of the house.

Whip Cream Face

We had pumpkin pie today with homemade whip cream again today at a friends house (Yummy)....Brayden got his hands on the bowl and this is seriously what we found in the kitchen......They never grow up, do they?

Ode to my sissy!

So after the whole Macy's tree thing, we were trying to get ourselves out of dwntwn S.F. and in the process we found this street, it took 5 tries, but I finally got a picture of the street sign that wasnt blurry. I just thought it was funny! Here's to you Jenny and Matt(its their last name,)...love you guys. Cant wait to see you, only a month and a half to go!!!

Getting in the X-mas spirit, already!!

So, I didnt know this, but in downtown San Francisco (in Union Square), Macy's puts up a giant tree & the day after Thanksgiving they do the official tree lighting....oooh! So we thought it would be a fun experience to take the kids and go down there. So, my friend April, her daughter Brittney, and the boys and I packed into the car and headed to S.F. Good thing we left super early, like 3:00, thinking we could get there and walk around for a while first...yeah right. We got about 10 miles from the bridge and hit dead stop traffic. We drove like 10mph all the way across the Golden Gate! It took forever to get there, cuz of course, everyone else was doing the same thing. Then we got to the parking garage...that took another half hour, maybe more, to get a spot. So then we parked, went down to Macy's, and headed for the bathroom (even bigger line). Anyways, by the time we went to the bathroom we barely had enough time to go outside and find a spot in the crowd to see the tree, but it was beautiful once it was lit up! Kinda cool to see it at least once. So then we went and got clam chowder and chili in bread bowls....the boys had so much fun with that!! That made the trip worth it for them. Then, of course, you have to walk around the building to see the famous Macy's x-mas windows. They had real kittens and puppies in the windows, and they're all for adoption....the crowds are amazing, we had to walk around holding hands in a chain to keep together. But we had a great time. Now we are ready for christmas! Time to put up our own tree!!! Here are some random pics.......

Happy Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope it was great for all! We had a nice quiet day with us 5 and Grandma and Grandpa Enlow, it was very nice. We ate around 1:00, and had everything cleaned up quick and had plenty of time to just relax! Bryeson tried hard to beat grandma Enlow at battleship.....it didnt work. She whipped his butt!!! He's got to gear up for next time so he can challange her again!! Here are some cute pics of our day.........

Lacrosse!

Brayden is my athelete, he loves sports, especially football. He decided he wanted to check out Lacrosse, so we signed him up for a one day clinic so he could try it out and make sure he likes it before I pay a fortune to register him and buy all the gear....of course he loves it. And he seemed to be a natural at it too! Now I have to check into the registration. Here is some pics of him out there doing his thing...

Disneyland Rocks!!!

So we went down to Sothern Cali for my cousin Troy's wedding, (congrats Troy and Alyssa). It was so much fun and such a beautiful wedding. It was really great to see everyone again. While we were there we also went to Disneyland (of course). We had a blast and can't wait to go back. (We have season passes now!!! Yeah!) Here are a few pics from our trip.....
